I am comfortable watching multiple dogs and cats in the same home.

Kelsey was wonderful! Took great care of our dogs and cats when we were gone. Provided regular updates and we even came back to a super clean house. Very appreciative of all her help to manage our furry gang!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Kelsey! I feel so happy and comfortable when I leave my (high maintenance ?) pup with her.

Kelsey was super sweet with my cat over the Thanksgiving holiday and was able to navigate changes in her medication and food needs no problem. I will definitely be booking with Kelsey again.

Kelsey took such great care of my home and pup for the weekend! She was kind and easy to communicate with ahead of and during our trip. Came home to a happy dog, a clean house, and a well watered garden. Such a relief to have found a great dog sitter! Thanks again!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬⁣⁣ ⁣I watch your animal(s) at your home. This allows your pet(s) to feel more comfortable and secure. Safety and responsibility are of my highest concern when pet sitting! You can rest easy while you're away trusting that your animal(s) are getting compassionate support. I take exceptionally good care of your lovely home while you are away. For example, counter tops will be clean, floor swept, bed sheets washed, dishwasher loaded. You’ll barely know I was there because I leave a very light footprint. ⁣ ⁣⁣ Home care actions that are included with my dog sitting services: retrieving mail on property, taking garbage/recycling/compost bins up and down, receiving packages and deliveries, watering indoor and outdoor plants, and I am receptive to others as long as it is discussed and agreed upon beforehand. ⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬⁣⁣ ⁣Through my experience as a dog sitter, I have found that I work best when I'm able to sleep in my own space without the animals in the same bed.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I have sensitivities to air fresheners and synthetic fragrances in general (natural and essential oils OK), so unfortunately I’m not able to stay in homes that use them.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Open, honest communication is important to me so that we can be on the same page as much as possible, therefore I happily remain communicative while you are away if that is your preference. ⁣

Information Kelsey H. would like to know about your pet

My pricing is based on if your pets have any special needs, take medications, how old they are, how many walks per day they get, and/or activity level, and how much attention they are used to getting.

A typical day

I love taking dogs with me to various nature parks around the Portland area. Tryon Creek, Washington Park, and Mt. Tabor are some of my favorites. Or even just walking them at a local park is fun. In the evening it's cuddle time as we wind down and get ready for a good night's rest.
